My former post was a review of FIFA 2014, a football game. But today, I'll review a racing game called Highway Rider. You may have come across the game maybe on various playstores, but I assure you that the game is worth playing. Highway rider is a motorcycle racing game everybody would like to play. It is packed with splendid HD graphics, and it's easy to play. It has many features which I'll take about later. You main objective in this game is to get as more close calls as possible. Each close call gives you some points depending on how near you maneuvered the moving vehicles.The player has to ride very close to cars to earn points, this is what is meant by close call. The farther you move, the more close calls you get and also you'll earn more speed boost. The speed boost helps you to go very fast. Although close calls can earn you points ranging from 2-5, it endangers you to getting crash. And if you crash, you'll end up breaking your bones and getting a huge hospital bill of thousand of dollars, depending on the depth of the injury. Actually, the hospital bill is estimated so you're not going to pay a dime.

FEATURES
Characters:
Highway rider features about 8 characters, with Speed Junkie as the default character. You can unlock more characters with your points. If you don't have enough coins to unlock them, you can purchase bulky points online. Each of these characters have their own unique bike. That is, if you unlock any character, his bike will also be unlocked. This is an advantage because you won't have to unlock bikes separately. Therefore, it saves your points. Just like other games, the value of the characters depends on their abilities.
Challenge your friends online :
On Highway Rider, you can challenge your friends online and know who the best and fastest racer is. This feature isn't available on Temple Run, Awesome Team Pro and Subway Surfers. Therefore, it makes the game interesting and unique.
Share Replays/ Screen Shots of your crashes :
If you crash during game play, you can take a screen shot of the crash directly from the game. After playing the game, you can also watch a replay and share it with friends or public online. You can also share the clip on YouTube, if you have a YouTube account.
Increase your speed with speed boost :
Speed boost enables you to ride very fast. You can get one on the store but you need enough points to do that. You can also buy speed boosts online. Normally, you get boosts as you ride during game play. That is, the greater the distance covered, the more boost you get. The boost level can be monitored using the boost tank meter on the game screen. This meter is only visible while racing.
Complete In-Game Challenges Customize your Motorcycles and Outfits in the Shop :
You can change the outfit of your character as well as repaint your motorcycle in highway rider. This allows you to give a fitting match between the character and the bike.
Stages :
The game features four highways where you can race on. It also features three stages; Arcade, fugitive and multiplayer modes. As I stated earlier, you can challenge your friends in the multiplayer mode. Arcade mode features normally game racing. While in the fugitive mode, you'll be given a task which earns you about 250-300 points per task. Examples of such tasks are; complete 250m without crash and complete 500m without crashing. The fugitive mode is more challenging as the cops will be after you, trying to smash you. In this case, you have to evade the cops and their blockages. The cops uses their cars as road blocks to prevent you from passing by. You only have a little space to fit in on high speed. That is a Herculean task. But after the completion of each task in the fugitive mode, you'll be given a huge reward. Arcade mode earns you less than 5 points per call while you'll get 250-500 points after a successful task on the fugitive mode. So it's more better than the arcade mode, but tougher.
Camera view :
You can switch between cameras like far, near or invisible through the eye-like icon located at the upper right of your screen. Among the various view points, the far view is more preferable. This is because it gives you a clearer view ahead. And you can detect incoming vehicles on time. The near and invisible views gives you an elegant view of the highway. Though it looks beautiful, but you can easily crash because of poor sight.
